Porgy and Bess

Several weeks ago I went to Birmingham to take production photos for Cape Town Opera's UK tour of The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess.

I photographed two dress rehearsals - singing opera is extremely demanding so most companies tour with several casts. Sibongile Mngoma also performed as Bess.

The show has received excellent reviews and I would thoroughly recommend it. It is currently on at the London Coliseum and will be running until Saturday 21st July.
